The United States is apparently insisting that representatives of the European Union participate in the next round of talks on Ukraine, Politico Europe reported, citing sources.
"We need Europe at the table," said an unnamed official. "So our proposal is to bring the Europeans to a discussion after this tripartite," he added.
According to the publication, the special envoy for the US presidency, Steve Witkoff, and the son-in-law of the US president, Jared Kushner, are allegedly pushing the Europeans to join the next round of negotiations and are discussing the issue with Russia. The report said Washington wants to speed up the talks and make the Nov. 10 meeting in Abu Dhabi the last meeting without the full participation of Europe.
